If you specify an XLFD field other than FOUNDRY, FAMILY,
CHARSET_REGISTRY, CHARSET_ENCODING in each font name, Emacs
tries to use the specified font name as is (i.e. the same
font X server will find from that name).  In your case, you
specify ADSTYLE as NULL and POINT_SIZE as 140.  If you put
`*' in those fields, Emacs's normal font selection mechanism
should work also for those charsets.

So, please try this:

Emacs.Fontset-0: -*-courier-medium-r-normal--*-140-*-*-*-*-fontset-startup,\
        mule-unicode-2500-33ff:-*-fixed-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-iso10646-1,\
        mule-unicode-e000-ffff:-*-fixed-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-iso10646-1,\
        mule-unicode-0100-24ff:-*-fixed-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-iso10646-1
